Chapter 51: Fifty-one in distress
"Have you heard about Sakura, who will the emperor take to hunt tomorrow?"
"Emperor En's said yes, but" Sakura Zhu saw the cherry's eagerness, but she couldn't say it for a while.
"What did the emperor say?" A faint voice sounded, but Sakura Zhu and Cherry hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "Little master." β
"Let me ask you, what did the emperor say?"
Although the tone was still faint, the cold sweat behind the cherry blossom beads soaked through her clothes all of a sudden, and she knew that if she said it, the little master would definitely not be happy, "The slave maid didn't see the emperor when she went, but Gonggong Zhao said that hunting was dangerous tomorrow, and there were too many people to take care of it, so the emperor asked the little master to stay in the tent and rest." β
"Hehe, it's really not what I expected," Sakura Zhu thought that her little master would be furious when she heard this, but who knew that people laughed shallowly: "Feng Zizhi, I have done my best for you, and I am strongly opposed to the plot between my father and the king of Hexi for you, but what about you?"
"Little lord, don't talk nonsense. Yingzhu hurriedly knelt down and walked to Shen Qingru's lap and said: "The matter of the master and the king of Hexi getting close to each other cannot be known to outsiders, the little master also looks at the appearance of the king of Hexi today, the slave thinks that now we are in the weeping poplars, and the distant water can't quench the thirst of the near, and the little master still has to make a decision early." β
Shen Qingru seemed to wake up from the somewhat demonic appearance just now when he heard this, "Yingzhu, before I entered the palace, my father told me that after entering the palace, I need to discuss everything with you, because you will help me to get to that position, and you are specially cultivated by him for this." β
"The slave didn't dare. Sakura Zhu's face was full of expression, and she quickly kowtowed. I thought that the little lord meant that he had just overpassed.
"Actually, what my father said is right, it's only been a long time since I entered the palace, what you said is right, go and befriend Pei Heluo, gather Ji Yuzhen, don't get close to the queen's faction, and don't go against Song Guifei's sisters, let me seek stability, I know all this, even now, you are more sober than me, and you know that I have to plan early. Yes, everything is good, but it shouldn't be, I, Shen Shiqingru, shouldn't fall in love with that person, if I fall in love, I can't take care of anything, I know that he won't and can't belong to me alone, but I really can't stand it, Pei Heluo, that slut, she was born so lowly, why can she get his attention, he is different. Although it was a heart-wrenching word, Shen Qingru's expressionless face seemed to have a slight smile.
Sakura Zhu knelt on the ground but couldn't cry, she knew that this was the true words of the little master, the burden given by the lord was too heavy, the young lady who was pampered since childhood, the best young lady in poetry and songs, the young lady who was famous in the capital, in her best years, she would fall in love with her husband as a matter of course, the man she felt was the best in the world, but that man did not belong to her, she couldn't bear it, the world would not understand, but she could feel it, how could she force her to make plans at this time.
"Okay, Sakura, you get up," Shen Qingru turned his eyes to the twilight sky outside the window and said after looking at it for a while, "Just when I give him another chance, and give myself a little hope, if Pei Heluo dies tomorrow, he will still be the emperor and my husband, as long as the person who doesn't matter disappears." β
"Little master, you can't have what the master ordered you, this can't," Yingzhu's voice hadn't fallen yet, and she had already been slapped the face, and Shen Qingru's face looked extremely hideous against the background of the candles in the room, "Do what I say, did you hear it." β
Sakura Zhu looked at Shen Qingru's face in front of her in horror, she knew that it was useless to say anything at this time.
"Is the emperor really going today? While helping Emperor Wu dress, Heluo asked anxiously, she naturally knew that it was impossible for Emperor Wu to come to Chuiyang to do nothing in the past few days, let the king of Hexi fish meat, not to mention that she always felt that this man was deliberately leading the king of Hexi here, but she still had to make a worried look on her face, after all, there are not too many men who like a woman who has insight into fire and is discerning, not to mention an emperor in the ancient feudal period, and there is also a fact that Heluo really has no bottom in her heart, she doesn't know if she can trust this man, and if it is really a matter of life and death between the two of them, what step will he do for himself, or will he do nothingγ
"Everything is in order, you don't have to worry. Emperor Wu didn't see the kind of anger on his face at all, but a cold and solemn face, Heluo immediately showed a look of convincing dependence on his face after hearing the words, his eyes stared at the person in front of him seriously, as if he wanted to imprint people in his heart, but no one could see that under the pure and happy smile, Heluo's heart was about to be distorted, you didn't say anything, and let me believe you in everything, what kind of truth is this. Maybe it's because of the temperament that modern people have cultivated since childhood, Heluo never fakes things to others, and likes to get to the bottom of everything, after arriving at Daxuan, because of the bad environment around him, Heluo is already very depressed himself, but he unconsciously came out when he encountered this kind of juncture.
Emperor Wu looked at the appearance of the girl in front of him, and for some reason he was a little relieved in his heart, rubbed Heluo's head and said, "Okay, go and change your clothes and go with me." After hearing this, He Luo nodded, didn't dare to hesitate and hurriedly called Tinglan in, while changing into a set of narrow-sleeved tight-fitting riding suits like Emperor Wu, and said to the two girls in front of him: "I said everything I should have said last night, you all know it, since I don't know why the emperor didn't bring Zhao Gonggong this time, then if there is anything, it is best for the two of you to follow Zhao Gonggong," He Luo quickly told him to see if there was anything left, but when he thought of his own space, he was a little more stable in his heart, after all, there was space, and if it was not a desperate situation, she would definitely survive.
Ting Lan and the others agreed while helping, but Ting Lan couldn't help but say worriedly: "The lives of the slaves and maids are not valuable, just be careful, but the little master, didn't you go after all, Shen Liangdi?"
"Hehe, you don't have to worry about me, if the emperor can't keep me safe, then let alone other places. "Heluo can see it at this time, after all, if you don't follow *oss and find a way out by yourself, isn't this looking for death?
Yesterday, it seemed that the King of Hexi must be completely prepared in order to deal with Emperor Wu, just look at the guards outside, and Emperor Wu is only afraid of doing no less than the King of Hexi, if he dodges, the probability of really being able to escape is negligible, once he is caught, it will not please both sides, and he is afraid that only one will die at that time. And just when I arrived at the hunting place, Luo had already turned around because of curiosity, in addition to a real cliff around the hunting ground, there were also several other hillsides and sheep intestine trails that could go up the mountain, all of which were heavily guarded, and it was impossible for anyone to stray, of course, no matter who these people were, it was impossible for them to run away, and besides, the current situation is not so bad, isn't it, maybe it's a good time to gamble.
"The little lord looks good to wear like this, the little lord hasn't worn it in the palace like this, and the emperor will definitely be stunned when he waits, this time we didn't bring riding clothes in the clothes we brought, but fortunately, the big housekeeper of the Chen Mansion asked someone to rush to make it overnight, and it looks quite fitting now." β
"You said that this clothing was made by the people of the Chen Mansion?" He Luo was a little uneasy in her heart when she heard this, but she could see that Chen Liu was definitely from Emperor Wu's side, and she saw that the people outside had been waiting for a long time, and if she asked to change her clothes at this time, others would definitely think that she didn't know the general situation, so she had to give up.
After going out, Emperor Wu glanced at He Luo and said lightly: "This king has already picked a docile horse for you, and there will be guards to pull the horse for you, if we go hunting, you can follow slowly behind." β
He Luo's eyes were full, and he quickly nodded in agreement, if this kind of juncture is hypocritical or something, it will be annoying to people in vain, and He Luo has to try to make himself less troublesome.
"Prince Huai, you can be regarded as here, but this king has been here for a long time. King Hexi began to laugh when he saw Emperor Wu, and then glanced at Heluo behind Emperor Wu, and his words were full of excitement.
"Since the King of Hexi said that he was hunting, why did he bring so many guards, could it be that he had other plans?" Emperor Wu's eyes narrowed, and he looked behind the King of Hexi with a grim expression, but there was a trace of jealousy in his words just now.
King Hexi looked at Emperor Wu's reaction with satisfaction, and said in a hearty tone: "Prince Huai, what are you talking about, you came here with less than a dozen guards in total, this king has already said that the beasts in the mountains are not long-eyed, if you hurt Prince Huai, it is not the king's, just in case, it is good to bring more people." β
Emperor Wu didn't want to argue with the king of Hexi anymore, and after the whip was raised, the horse neighed, and immediately took the lead in running forward, and the guards behind saw it and hurriedly followed. King Hexi squinted and smiled at the back of Emperor Wu, the whip in his right hand was gently beaten in the palm of his left hand, just like the hunter who had dug the trap looking at the prey running in the direction of the trap, Heluo looked at it and pouted, and he didn't know who was the prey Who knew that the king of Hexi suddenly turned his head to look at Heluo, his mouth grinned, and he smiled at Heluo meaninglessly, and then beckoned the guards, and the whip was drawn, and the smoke and dust ran forward.
He Luo was almost stunned by the malicious smile, and after waiting for her mind to stabilize for a while, she motioned for the guard leading the horse to pull her forward slowly.
As soon as he entered the forest, Heluo felt that something was wrong, the weather was sunny today, the sight in the forest was also clear, and the sun could not be exposed in the forest, it stands to reason that people should feel very comfortable, but Heluo walked for a while, only to find that in addition to the sound of the horse's hooves on which she was riding, it was quiet and a little scary, and the forest was so quiet except for natural disasters, that is* I don't know how many people are in ambush here, plus the killing intent of these people, so that the surrounding animals are scared away from it, thinking about it, Heluo suddenly felt that the surrounding trees were full of shadows, and he couldn't help but be a little afraid.
It's just that at this time, I don't say anything has happened, and I have to make some appearances, so I turned around and smiled a little innocently and asked the two guards behind me: "I've never been in this forest, I just think it's so quiet?"
"Back to the little master, they went in first, so many people must have scared the prey away, the little master just rest assured. β
Heluo nodded and smiled, and said to the guard pulling the horse: "Although I don't know how to ride a horse, I don't have to be so slow, let's be a little faster." β
The guard had a bottom in his heart, and he was eager to hear this, so he hurriedly pulled his horse and quickened his pace, although the group sped up their pace, but it was not much faster, although Heluo pretended to watch around with casual interest, but her heart was so anxious that she didn't know what was happening in front of her.
After walking all the way again, it was already when Heluo was about to lose his breath, and heard the faint sound of swords in front of him, Heluo did not hesitate, and immediately turned back to one of the guards on the horse and said: "There is something wrong with the sound ahead, you hurry up and take a look." β
The guard hurriedly beat his horse and waited quietly in the same place, but after a while, the guard who took the order came back and shouted: "Little master, little master, it's not good, the emperor has fallen off his horse." βγ
